It is -written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd. - -The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit -exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would be a -better name :-) - -Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information! - - -II. Status -~~~~~~~~~~~ - -It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the -original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics -specified by the RFCs. - -In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be -used in real IRC networks. - -Implemented IRC-commands are: - -ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, GLINE, HELP, INFO, -INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, KLINE, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, -NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, -REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SERVICE, SERVLIST, SQUERY, SQUIT, STATS, SUMMON, -TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WEBIRC, WHO, -WHOIS, WHOWAS. - -III.
